Aluminum industries use bauxite as the major raw material . Bauxite containing less than 50% Al 2 O 3 is called low-grade bauxite ore, which is generally used for the production of aluminum appliances such as abrasives, ceramics, and refractories . The presence of impurities, including silica, iron oxides, and calcium contribute to the …

"Bauxite Residue" (BR) refers to the insoluble solid material, generated during the extraction of alumina (Al 2 O 3) from Bauxite ore using the Bayer process.When bauxite ore is treated with caustic soda, the aluminum hydroxides/oxides contained within, are solubilized, with approximately 50% of the bauxite mass being transferred to the …
